Chapter 1774: Worst Plan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The regimental commander of Army Aviation, who was focused on the map, suddenly turned around. His gaze was so focused that he did not seem to have heard what the soldier said. He quickly asked, “What did you just say?”
“Black-20 flew over the Aurora Canyon four minutes ago. Now they’re getting ready to fly to the military depot to see if they can complete the landing,” the soldier immediately repeated.
Aurora Canyon!
Regimental Commander Lu quickly turned around, bent down, and pointed using the pencil in his hand accurately at the Aurora Canyon. Then, his eyes lit up. “Contact Black-20 immediately and order them to fly over Kudi Daban. After landing, they should do their best in searching for the missing cultural troupe!”
Now, it was Black-20 that was closest to the location where they had lost contact with the troupe!
Arora Canyon was a canyon formed during the glacier era. During the summer, the water in the river was formed by melting snow. During the four seasons of the year, the water was bone-chillingly cold. When it was winter, the surface of the river would turn into thick ice and one could walk on it.
The helicopter would arrive at the military depot if it flew over Aurora Canyon. Farther up was the route to the Shenxian Bay outpost—Kudi Daban.
To get to the Shenxian Bay outpost, one would have to go through three places—Kudi Daban, Mazar Daban, and Heiqiazi Daban.
After crossing the three places, they would enter the “Cemetery for Martyrs”, which was a place that was guarded by more than 100 heroes when they were alive. Now, it had become their resting place after their deaths. That place was less than 200 kilometers away from the Shenxian Bay outpost.
The location where the art troupe went missing was the military depot between Kudi Daban and Mazar Daban.
It was snowing heavily in January and the snowstorm was rapid. Sometimes, there would even be an avalanche. The regimental commander of Army Aviation didn’t understand why the leaders would bring a group of delicate artistic soldiers to the Shenxian Bay outpost at this time.
They said that they were going to celebrate the Spring Festival with the soldiers from the outpost, but there was still a month before the new year. There was still a blizzard and the risk of an avalanche. Every time the regimental commander of Army Aviation thought about it, he could not help but wonder if they were here to visit or… die?
That was what he thought in his heart, but he couldn’t say it out loud. Now that he couldn’t contact anyone and with the heavy snowfall, the regimental commander of Army Aviation felt that his warm heart was about to freeze into a lump of ice.
All the soldiers on the Black-20 were tense. Ye Jian took the parachute and looked at the front of the cabin with a serious expression. Then, she asked Li Jinnian in a low voice, “If we parachute down, what will happen to the pilot?”
She had clearly heard the cabin crew say that they wanted to save the helicopter!
The black-20 was not produced by the country but imported from overseas. To the pilot, a plane was his life!
“It’s not easy to train a pilot who can adapt to the highlands and has experience flying. We can’t let him lose his life to protect a patrol helicopter.” She was a little nervous as she tightened her grip on her parachute until her knuckles turned white. Li Jinnian didn’t think much of it as he patted the back of her hand, “Don’t be afraid, the worst has yet to come.”
Ye Jian shook her head lightly. “I’m not afraid. I’m worried about the pilot. When the Army Aviation brothers were discussing just now, they agreed to protect the patrol helicopter. I’m worried that if the worst happens, the pilot won’t abandon the aircraft.”
She did not feel much fear. She was ready to sacrifice herself at any moment after putting on the military uniform.
Li Jinnian was a little surprised by her response.. He thought she was afraid, but he never expected that she was only worried about the life and death of her comrades… The female soldier, Azure Bird, always surprised him.
